A beef farmer by day and a Bitcoin node manager at night, I'm amazed by the potential of Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and Ecash. When money isn't scarce, everything else is. All animals are equal except those who print currency. Bitcoin is law. Nostr is voice. Sovereignty is the goal Solar, lithium, Home Assistant, Ubuntu, Tollgate

With Canada giving $355 million to the people of West Bank and Gaza I can't help to wonder how much damage Canadians are doing to Israel. As a country we give no aid to Israel, if fact it looks like Mark Carney wants Canadians to go to war with Israel. Here is a video of a x-hamas leader's son talking about why and how they manipulate the western people. When Islamic people worship Allah in their mosque they feel they are above the civil law in that society. If western people want to worship in Mecca they should move to Saudi Arabia. Non Muslims don't get to enter Mecca. #cndpoli

Yesterday I put J.L.M. Automotive onto the Bitcoin Lightning network via the Wallet of Satoshi app. Colin couldn't use the app until he changed his IP address to a non North American address. Then the Point of Sale feature on the WoS app works. After a little research the company does say that offering custodial services in the US/Canada would require KYC, which they are unwilling to implement, describing it as "a hill we’re willing to die on." Wos does have a switch to allow for self-custody. What do my friends recommend? #asknostr

image This blunder is all on Mark Carney I am Canadian 🇨🇦. I do NOT recognize the state of Palestine. What I do see in Palestine is one of the world's largest open-air terror incubators. If anyone close to Mark Carney sees this, urge him to take a close look at the footage of Palestinians partying in the streets as Hamas paraded its victims and desecrated their bodies. While it would be untrue to say that every single Palestinian is tied to Hamas, it is very fair to say that most are. We can only hope Trump threatens more tariffs against Canada if they push ahead with this plan. #canpoli

Hey @npub1e7w0...r8mn Can you explain why the Royal Bank of Canada de banked Eva Chipiuk, BSc, LLB, LLM @echipiuk (on x)? I agree with Tom "How is it possible that in 2025, one of Canada’s five federally chartered banks can unilaterally decide to close your accounts—without warning, without explanation, and without any form of due process? Banking is not a luxury. It’s not a perk or an optional service. In our modern world, it is a fundamental requirement for survival. You cannot rent an apartment, get paid, pay your bills, or access government services without a functioning bank account. Being shut out of the banking system is a form of economic erasure. And yet, the very institutions that are licensed, regulated, insured, and backed by the Canadian government can cut you off at their discretion, citing vague internal “risk assessments” or “policy violations,” with no obligation to justify it to you or to anyone else. These banks enjoy the privileges of public trust and taxpayer-backed protection. They are not operating on a level playing field like other private businesses. They are part of a tightly regulated oligopoly with barriers to entry so high that Canadians effectively have no alternative. The Canadian banking system is not truly free-market; it is a protected class of institutions, and yet, they are not held to the standard of public responsibility that should come with that protection. We saw this issue explode into public awareness during the Freedom Convoy in 2022, when the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act to freeze personal bank accounts of protesters and supporters, many of whom had committed no crime, been charged with nothing, and were denied any legal recourse. This wasn’t about fraud or terrorism. It was about political punishment. The precedent was set. Now, Canadians are learning that it doesn’t take a national emergency for your financial access to be stripped. All it takes is for a bank to decide you’re a reputational risk. That could be based on your political views, your social media activity, your associations, or nothing at all. And there is no appeals process. This is not just a customer service issue. It is a civil rights issue. It is a warning sign that we are dangerously close to a system where access to the economy is conditional where your ability to exist financially depends on your compliance with unspoken ideological boundaries. It’s time to demand legislative change. Access to basic banking services must be recognized as a protected civil right. No Canadian should be excluded from the financial system without: •A clear explanation •A formal notice period •A right to appeal •Independent oversight of the decision You cannot have a free society when banks, operating under government license, can erase your economic life without cause or consequence. If the government regulates them, the government must also protect us from them. The right to participate in the economy must never be left to the whims of corporate policies written in secret. Because if it can happen to one person without resistance, it can, and eventually will, happen to many." image

Service Alberta (Dale Nally) is focus on red tape reductions or in others words Bitdeer and Hut8 are going to have sunny skies ahead. It looks like #Alberta is going to have a bitcoin Act. 25% of the private sector jobs in Canada are in Alberta (only 12% of the population) Bandwidth ships energy. Bitcoin is a freedom currency.

The premier of Alberta came to Grande Prairie, Alberta for a town Hall meeting. She reminds me of Peter Lougheed because she thinks Alberta's oil and gas are provincial and not federal. #abpoli #gpab image
